Thodi Si Bewafai #2 Part 26 on Page 110 - Page 74

Raman puttar, his trance broke as he heard his mother approaching his room.

Maa aap...aaiye na, he welcomed his mother happily.

(Maa you...please come, he welcomed his mother happily.)

Woh main tere liye balm le aayi thi puttar...tune kaha tha na ki tu thak gaya hai toh maine socha tujhe balm laga doon...tujhe acha lagega, Toshi Ji entered her son's room.

(Actually I had brought balm for you son...you said you are tired so I thought I will apply balm to you...you will feel good, Toshi Ji entered her son's room.)

Maa aapko ache se pata hai mujhe kab kya chahie, he happily sat down at the rug in front of his mother who settled on the bed so that her magical hands could take away his stress.

(Maa you very well know I need what at what time, he happily sat down at the rug in front of his mother who settled on the bed so that her magical hands could take away his stress.)

Kaisa hai mera bacha, Toshi Ji lovingly asked as her hands started massing Raman's head.

(How is my son, Toshi Ji lovingly asked as her hands started massing Raman's head.)

Thik hoon maa...infact bahut thik hoon, Raman replied in a slight excited tone.

(I am fine maa...infact very fine, Raman replied in a slight excited tone.)

Woh toh teri aawaz se pata chal raha hai...acha yeh bata ab Ishita ki tabiyat kaisi hai...aur tu use uski amma ke ghar chodke kyun aaya...main bhi toh milna chahti hoon us se...aur woh kaise maan gayi jaane ke liye...zarur tune hi use zid karke kaha hoga warna woh sabse pehle mere paas hi aati, Toshi Ji spoke non-stop.

(I can sense that from your voice...ok tell me how is Ishita's health now...and why did you leave her at her Amma's place...even I want to meet her...and how did she agree to go...i am sure you must have forced her or else she would have first come to meet me, Toshi Ji spoke non-stop.)

Arre maa...ek saath itna sab puch daala...saans toh lelo...Ishita ki tabiyat thik hai...main use Amma ke paas badi mushkil se chodke aaya hoon...woh toh zid leke baithi thi ki mummy ji ke paas jaana hai, Raman laughed.

(Arre Maa...you asked so much in a single go...atleast breathe...Ishita is fine...I left her with her Amma with so much difficulty...she was insisting to come to you, Raman laughed.)

Haan toh yahan laana tha na use pagal...kyun nahi laaya...khair main hi chali jaungi us se milne, Toshi Ji hit her son slightly.

(Yes so you had to bring her here...why you didn't bring her...anyways I will go and meet her, Toshi Ji hit her son slightly.)

Arre jaanke nahi laaya...mujhe aapse baat karni thi kuch...akele mein, Raman reluctantly initiated the conversation.

(Arre I intentionally didn't get her...i wanted to talk to you...in privacy, Raman reluctantly initiated the conversation.)

Akele mein baat...aisi kya baat hai puttar...jaldi bata mera dil baitha jaa raha hai, Toshi Ji sounded scared.

(Talk in privacy...what is the matter son...tell me fast I am getting tensed, Toshi Ji sounded scared.)

Arre tension wali koi baat nahi hai maa...bas aapko kuch batana chahta hoon...sunoge, Raman innocently asked.

(Arre there is nothing to get tensed Maa...i just want to tell you something...will you listen to me, Raman innocently asked.)

Maa kab apne bache ki nahi sunti puttar...bol na, Toshi Ji made Raman sit beside her.

(When does a mother does not listen to her child...tell me, Toshi Ji made Raman sit beside her.)

Bahut baar nahi sunte aap meri...aapko mujhse jyada pyaari Ishita hai, Raman pouted.

(Many times you don't listen to me...you love Ishita more than me, Raman pouted.)

Pyaare dono barabar ho par tune uske saath itna galat kiya hai na puttar ki mujhe use double pyaar dena pada...ek saas ke hisse ka bhi aur ek apne bete ki galti ko dhakne ki koshish karne wali maa ka bhi, Toshi Ji explained her point.

(I love you both equally but you did so much wrong to her that I had to love her double...i had to love her as a mother in law as well and as a mother also who was trying to cover up for her son, Toshi Ji explained her point.)

Yeh nahi jaanna chahogi ki maine galat kyun kiya uske saath, Raman rested his head in his mother's lap.

(Would you not like to know why I did all that with her, Raman rested his head in his mother's lap.)

Mere liye kyun galat kiya se jyada yeh baat maayne rakhti hai ki ab tum dono saath mein khush ho...phir bhi agar tera dil halka hota hai kehne se toh main zarur sunungi, Toshi Ji started caressing his hair.

(For me more than why you did all that, what matters is that you both are together and happy now...still if you will feel light after confessing then I will surely listen, Toshi Ji started caressing his hair.)

And in no time, Raman narrated everything to his mother; each minute detail, every misunderstanding, all the wrong notions, he confessed everything.

Kitna galat samjha maine Ishita ko maa...woh toh kabhi galat thi hi nahi, he almost broke down by the time he accepted everything.

(I misunderstood Ishita so much Maa...she was never ever wrong, he almost broke down by the time he accepted everything.)

Rote nahi puttar...tune teri galti maan li usi se teri galti dhul gayi...aur dekha jaaye toh tum dono ki thodi thodi galti thi...dono hi galat nahi the aur dono hi sahi nahi the...bas haalaaton ne thodi si bewafai kar di tum dono se, Toshi Ji consoled her son.

(Don't cry son...your mistake is already forgiven since you accepted it...and if you see you both were at mistake...you both were wrong and you both were right...it's just that the circumstances cheated you a little, Toshi Ji consoled her son.)

Sabse badi baat yeh hai maa ki sahi waqt pe sab sambhal gaya...maine aur Ishita ne zindagi ko dobara ek naye sire se shuru karne ka faisla kiya hai...aur isilie hum yahan aaye hain...mera matlab hai sabse milna toh tha hi par baby ko adopt bhi yahin se kar sakte hain islie aise achanak aana pada, Raman's face already lit up as he mentioned about the baby.

(The best thing is that everything got sorted on time Maa...i and Ishita have decided to start the life all over again making a new beginning...and that is why we have come here...i mean obviously we wanted to meet everyone but then baby's adoption process can also begin only from here so we had to come suddenly, Raman's face already lit up as he mentioned about the baby.)

Puttar ek baat kahun, Toshi Ji sounded tensed.

(Son shall I say something, Toshi Ji sounded tensed.)

Haan maa bolo na, Raman got up and sat facing his mother.

(Yes Maa tell me, Raman got up and sat facing his mother.)

Dekh puttar jo Ishita ne kiya woh toh sach mein taareef ke kaabil tha...ek aurat jismein maa ka dil hai mamta bhari hai wahi aisa kar sakti hai par puttar...yeh adoption...dekh main maanti hoon jo us bachi ke saath hua galat tha...bechari ne dekha hi kya duniya mein...bas aayi aur uske nirdayi maa baap use chodke chal diye...bhagwan us bachi ko khoob lambi aur khushiyon bhari umar de...par puttar mujhe yeh adoption thik nahi lag raha, Toshi Ji expressed her views.

(Look son what Ishita did is truly worth praise...a woman who has a motherly heart filled with love can only do this but son...this adoption...look I accept it that what happened with that baby was wrong...poor baby was too young to bear all this...she just entered the world and her cruel parents abandoned her...may god bless that little child with a long and happy life...but son I don't think this adoption is a good idea, Toshi Ji expressed her views.)

Aap kehna kya chah rahi ho Maa, Raman said confused.

(What are you trying to say Maa, Raman said confused.)

Puttar mujhe us bachi se koi dikkat nahi hai...ulta bahut hamdardi hai uske liye...bechari bachi ko pata tak nahi ki is zara si umar mein usne kya kya dekh liya...par puttar teri aur Ishita ki toh zindagi abhi shuru hui hai...is nayi zindagi mein ek bachi...yeh bahut badi zimmedaari hai puttar...abhi toh tumhare hasne khelne ke din hain...aur yeh bachi...tu samajh raha hai main kya keh rahi hoon, Toshi Ji tried to explain her point.

(Son I don't have any problem with that baby...instead I feel for her...poor child does not even know what all she has suffered at such a young age...but son your and Ishita's new life has just started...a baby in this new life...this is a huge responsibility son...right now you both should just enjoy...and this baby...are you understanding what I am trying to say, Toshi Ji tried to explain her point.)

Maa main aapki har baat samajh raha hoon...aap galat nahi hain...par bas aap meri ek baat ka jawaab dijiye...kya agar Ishita is time pregnant hoti toh bhi aap yahi kehti ki abhi humari nayi shaadi hai islie bacha nahi hona chahie...kitne hi aise couples hote hain jinke shaadi ke turant baad bache ho jaate hain...toh kya woh couple apne bachon ko kahin chod aate hain...just because humne is bachi ko janam nahi diya toh kya hum ise bojh samjhe...maa shadi kitne din pehle hui aur bache kitne din baad us se koi pharak nahi padta...kisi kitaab mein nahi likha ki shaadi ke kitne din baad bache hone chahie...yeh toh bas apne mann ki baat hai ki kab humen lage ki hum bache ke liye taiyaar hain...aur mujhe lagta hai main is bachi ko apnane ke liye har tarah se taiyaar hoon, Raman said everything in one go while looking at the floor feeling embarrassed to be discussing such things with his mother.

(Maa I am understanding everything that you are saying...you are not wrong...but Maa you answer to one question of mine...if Ishita was pregnant right now would you have the same in that case also...there are so many couples who have babies right after their marriage...do those couples leave their babies somewhere...just because we didn't give birth to this baby does not mean that we will take this baby as a burden...Maa it does not matter after how long baby comes after a marriage...no book has set the time period for having a baby...this is all from heart that when are we ready for a baby...and I feel I am ready in all ways to accept this baby, Raman said everything in one go while looking at the floor feeling embarrassed to be discussing such things with his mother.)

Main teri has baat se sehmat hoon puttar...par humen is bachi ka kuch bhi toh nahi pata...kahaan se aayi hai...aaj hum is bachi ko rakh len...ise apne kaleje ke tukde ki tarah paalen...aur kal iske maa baap aa jaayen ise lene...phir hum kya karenge Raman, Toshi Ji raised another logical point.

(I totally agree with you son...but we just don't know anything about this baby...from where she has come...today even if we keep this baby with us...we nurture her with all the love...and tomorrow her parents come to take her away...then what will we do Raman, Toshi Ji raised another logical point.)

Isilie toh sab legal kar raha hoon maa...rehne ko toh bachi humare saath kitne mahino se reh rahi hai...par sab legal hoga toh kal koi bhi meri beti pe haq nahi jata paayega...woh sirf meri beti hai aur yahi baat main papers mein bhi likhi dekhna chahta hoon...main apni beti kisi ko nahi dunga, Raman's tone got an angry touch at the mere thought of separation from the baby.

(That's why I am doing everything legal Maa...even though the baby is staying with us for months already...but if everything is legal then nobody would be able to claim any sort of rights on my daughter...she is only my daughter and I want this to be on papers as well...I won't give my daughter to anyone, Raman's tone got an angry touch at the mere thought of separation from the baby.)

Aur Ishita...woh kya kehti hai...pehle ki baat alag thi...par ab toh use kuch yaad nahi...kya woh taiyaar hai is baat ke liye, Toshi Ji asked.

(And Ishita...what are her thoughts...it was a different situation earlier...but now she does not remember anything...is she ready for this, Toshi Ji asked.)

Haan maa...woh bahut khush hai...bachi uske saath aur woh bachi ke saath...dono maa beti ke jaise ghul mil gaye hain...aisa lagta hai jaise humesha se ek dusre ko jaante ho, Raman smiled wide describing the moments between his wife and his daughter.

(Yes Maa...she is very happy...she is happy with the baby and baby is happy with her...they both have already bonded like a mother daughter...it looks as if they have known each other forever, Raman smiled wide describing the moments between his wife and his daughter.)

Ab aisa hai toh mujhe kya dikkat hai...jis mein mere bachon ki khushi usi mein meri khushi...aur Daadi banne ki chaah kise nahi hoti...kab laa raha hai meri nanhi Bhalla ko ghar, Toshi ji hugged her son.

(If that's so then I have no issues...i am happy the way my kids are happy...and who does not want to be a grandmother...when are you bringing my little Bhalla home, Toshi ji hugged her son.)

I love you maa...i love you...bahut jald aa jaayenge dono ghar...aap dekhna aap us se milogi na toh pehli hi nazar mein woh aapko bhi moh legi...jaise usne shayad Ishita aur mujhe moh liya hai, Raman happily hugged back his mother.

(I love you maa...i love you...both will come home very soon...you wait and watch she will captivate you as well with her love as soon as you meet her...just like she has captivated me and Ishita, Raman happily hugged back his mother.)

Kal main khud hi chali jaungi Ishita aur apni poti se milne...mujhse intezaar nahi hoga unke aane tak ka, Toshi Ji became impatient.

(Tomorrow I myself will go to meet Ishita and my granddaughter...I will not be able to wait for their arrival, Toshi Ji became impatient.)

Par maa papa, Raman suddenly realized he still had another nut to crack that too a tough one.

(But maa what about Papa, Raman suddenly realized he still had another nut to crack that too a tough one.)

Raman kal tere papa do din ke liye bahaar jaa rahe hain...kal unse koi baat mat kariyo puttar...jaane se pehle kyun unhe naraaz karna...woh wapis aa jaayenge na toh main khud unse baat karungi...tab tak tu unhe kuch mat kahiyo, Toshi Ji said in a pleading tone.

(Raman tomorrow your papa is going out for two days...don't say anything to him tomorrow son...why to upset him just before he goes out...once he comes back I myself will talk to him...don't say anything to him till then, Toshi Ji said in a pleading tone.)

Par maa do din tak kyun wait karna...kal unke jaane se pehle baat kar sakte hain na, Raman sounded impatient.

(But maa why to wait for 2 days...we can talk tomorrow before he leaves, Raman sounded impatient.)

Tu apne papa ko jaanta hai na...kabhi bhi naraaz ho jaate hain...ghar se kisi ko kyun naraaz karke bhejna...do din ki toh baat hai...maan jaa apni maa ki baat puttar, Toshi Ji requested.

(You know your father right...he gets angry anytime...why to upset someone before he goes out...it is a matter of just two days...please listen to your Maa son, Toshi Ji requested.)

Ok maa...as you say...i love you, Raman said and again lied down in his mother's lap.

Feeling so light after so long, as he had got rid of all the burden that he had in his heart, he dozed off into a peaceful slumber in the same position while Toshi Ji continued to caress her son; calm son which was a rare sight in past few months.

------------------------------------------------------

Alle mera bacha itna kyun ro raha hai...dudhu bhi pee liya kheli kheli bhi kar li...ab mera baby so kyun nahi raha hai, Ishita talked to the baby animatedly while rocking her in her arms.

(Alle why my baby is crying so much...you already had milk and played...why my baby is not sleeping now, Ishita talked to the baby animatedly while rocking her in her arms.)

Ishu khaana taiyaar hai, Amma entered the room to see her daughter struggling with her own daughter to put her to sleep.

(Ishu dinner is ready, Amma entered the room to see her daughter struggling with her own daughter to put her to sleep.)

Amma dekhiye na ise...so hi nahi rahi hai...kal bhi isne aise hi kiya tha...maine ghanto koshish ki par nahi soyi...phir Raman ne sulaya toh 5 minute mein so gayi...aur aaj wapis nahi so rahi hai, Ishita herself being a mother complained like a baby to her mother.

(Amma just look at her...she is just not sleeping...she did the same yesterday as well...i tried for hours but she didn't sleep...and then Raman tried and she slept in just 5 minutes...and today again she is not sleeping, Ishita herself being a mother complained like a baby to her mother.)

Bache aise hi hote hai...apni mann marzi ke hisaab se sab karte hain...tum ise mujhe dedo aur khaana khaao...tumhe dawai bhi leni hai, Amma ordered Ishita while taking the baby in her arms.

(Kids are like this only...they do everything as per their own wish...you give her to me and go and have food...you have to take medicines as well, Amma ordered Ishita while taking the baby in her arms.)

And about 20 minutes later as she entered the room, she got pleasantly surprised seeing the baby sleeping smoothly and her Amma still patting her.

Arre yeh toh so gayi, Ishita happily commented going close.

(Arre she slept already, Ishita happily commented going close.)

Aur tum itni zor se baat karke usko wapis utha dogi, Amma scolded Ishita.

(And you will wake her up again by talking so loudly, Amma scolded Ishita.)

Oops sorry, Ishita murmured.

Tum bhi so jao ab...dawai lena mat bhulna, Amma started to leave until Ishita held her hand.

(You too sleep now...don't forget to take medicines, Amma started to leave until Ishita held her hand.)

Amma thodi der mere paas baithiye na, Ishita made Amma sit.

(Amma sit with me for some time, Ishita made Amma sit.)

Late ho raha hai Ishu, Amma tried to make an excuse.

(It is getting late Ishita, Amma tried to make an excuse.)

Mujhe avoid kyun kar rahi ho Amma, Ishita asked.

(Why you are avoiding me Amma, Ishita asked.)

Nahi toh, Amma turned her face.

(No I am not, Amma turned her face.)

Amma look at me, Ishita lied down in her mother's lap making her Amma face her.

Ishu, Amma cried.

Kya hua Amma...bataiye na mujhe, Ishita looked at Amma confused.

(What happened Amma...tell me please, Ishita looked at Amma confused.)

Tumhe dekhke baar baar woh us din ka haadsa yaad aa raha hai...tum hospital ke bed pe behosh...har taraf bas khoon hi khoon...mujhe laga tha maine apni bachi kho di, Amma broke down.

(Looking at you is making me recall that day again and again...you were on hospital bed unconscious...it was all blood everywhere...i felt I lost my daughter, Amma broke down.)

Relax Amma...look at me...i am fine, Ishita tried to console.

Tumhe pata hai Ishu tumne is shart pe shaadi ki thi ki hum is bachi ko ghar par hi rakhen...maine ise ghar par rakh toh liya tha par kabhi kuch khaas pyaar nahi diya...maid ke haathon saump diya tha ise...par us din jab tumhe maut ke mooh mein jaate dekha tab jaake ehsaas hua ki shayad maine kisi dusre ki beti ko pyaar nahi diya islie murugan ne mujhse meri beti dur ki...us din se maine is bachi ko apni jaan ki tarah paala hai Ishu, Amma could not hold her tears.

(You know Ishu you had married on this condition that we keep this baby at home...I kept her at my home but never really loved her...i handed her over to a maid...but then that day when I saw you on the deathbed I realized that maybe because I didn't give love to someone else's daughter that's why god punished me by taking my daughter away from me...from that day I have loved this baby like my own, Amma could not hold her tears.)

Meri Amma is duniya ki sabse achi Amma hain...main aur meri yeh bachi hum dono bahut lucky hain Amma ki hum dono ko aapne paala...ab aap please rona band kijiye...aapki beti aapke saamne hai aur bilkul thik hai, Ishita hugged her mother and the trio slept together for the night.

(My Amma is world's best mother...me and this daughter of mine both are very lucky to have been brought up by you...now please stop crying...your daughter is with you and completely fine as well, Ishita hugged her mother and the trio slept together for the night.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Aaj subah subah maine tumhe dekha...bahut sunder lag rahi thi tum...din hi ban gaya mera toh, she smiled reading a message from him.

(I saw you today early morning...you were looking so beautiful...my day got lucky, she smiled reading a message from him.)

Kahaan dekha...kuch samjhi nahi main Raman, he laughed reading her reply.

(Where did you see me...I didn't get you Raman, he laughed reading her reply.)

Bas dekha tha, she got irritated seeing his message.

(I saw you that's it, she got irritated seeing his message.)

Aap bata rahe ho ya nahi, he laughed even more seeing his wife's impatient state.

(Are you telling me or not, he laughed even more seeing his wife's impatient state.)

Arre shant baba shant...itna gussa kyun...chalo ek kaam karte hain...aaj gaano mein baat karte hain...dekhte hain hum samajh paate hain kya ek dusre ko, she hit her forehead reading his message.

(Ok calm down baba...why so much anger...ok let's do one thing...lets talk through songs today...let's see if we can understand each other or not, she hit her forehead reading his message.)

As if I have an option of refusing...ab gaane ke through hi batao kahaan dekha tha mujhe, he felt like a winner already on reading her reply.

(As if I have an option of refusing...now atleast tell me through the song where you saw me, he felt like a winner already on reading her reply.)

Ghar Se Nikalte Hi Kuch Door Chalte Hi

Raste Mein Hai Uska Ghar

Aaj Subah Dekha Toh Baal Banaati Woh

Khidki Mein Aayi Nazar, she guessed how he must have seen her passing by when she was combing her tresses in the balcony this morning.

(As soon as I start from home, her house is on very close on the way. And I saw her making her hair standing near the window this morning, she guessed how he must have seen her passing by when she was combing her tresses in the balcony this morning.)

Aapke Pyaar Mein Hum Sawarne Lage

Dekhke Aapko Hum Nikharne Lage

Is Kadar Aapse Humko Mohabbat Hui, his happiness knew no limits on reading her reply for the fact that he knew all her makeup was for him; only for him.

(I love you so much that I have started to get better in your love. In your love, I have started to glow at your sight, his happiness knew no limits on reading her reply for the fact that he knew all her makeup was for him; only for him.)

Aankhon Se Tune Yeh Kya Keh Diya

Dil Yeh Deewana Dhadakne Laga, she hid her face in her palms reading his reply.

(What did you just say through your eyes that this crazy heart of mine has started beating, she hid her face in her palms reading his reply.)

Agar Tum Mil Jao Zamana Chod Denge Hum

Tumhe Paakar Zamane Bhar Se Rishta Tod Denge Hum, he felt the luckiest reading her heartfelt feelings through that song.

(If I get you I will leave this world. Once I get you I will break all the relations with everyone in the world, he felt the luckiest reading her heartfelt feelings through that song.)

Aaoge Jab Tum O Saajna Angana Phool Khilenge

Barsega Saawan Jhoom Jhoom Ke Do Dil Aise Milenge, she smiled dreamily thinking about their final meeting after which they will never separate.

(The day you will come flowers will blossom in my house. It will rain crazily when our hearts will unite, she smiled dreamily thinking about their final meeting after which they will never separate.)

Aake Bharlo Baajuon Mein Tumko Hai Kasam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam, he took her message as a warning that he had to rush things and bring her back home at earliest.

(Come and embrace me in your arms as I am almost dying without you my love, he took her message as a warning that he had to rush things and bring her back home at earliest.)

Uthaa Le Jaunga Tujhe Main Doli Mein

Dekhti Reh Jaayengi Sakhiyaan Tumhari, she nodded her head looking at her husband's mischievous message.

(I will come and take you away in the palanquin and your friends will just keep on looking unable to do anything, she nodded her head looking at her husband's mischievous message.)

Teri Umeed Tera Intezaar Karte Hain

Ae Sanam Hum Toh Sirf Tumse Pyaar Karte Hain, he felt happy and sad at the same time reading her message; happy because someone was so restless for him and sad because he had to keep her in the same state for few more days.

(I just hope for you. I just wait for you. I love you and only you, he felt happy and sad at the same time reading her message; happy because someone was so restless for him and sad because he had to keep her in the same state for few more days.)

Dehleez Pe Mere Dil Ki Jo Rakhe Hain Tune Kadam

Tere Naam Pe Meri Zindagi Likh Di Mere Humdam

Haan Seekha Maine Jeena Mere Humdam

Na Seekha Jeena Tere Bina Humdam, she sang the last message he sent before signing off looking at their daughter as just like she too hadn't learnt to live neither without him nor without their daughter.

(Ever since you stepped at the way of my heart, I handed over my life to you. I learnt how to live from you. And I just didn't learn to live without you, she sang the last message he sent before signing off looking at their daughter as just like she too hadn't learnt to live neither without him nor without their daughter.)
